I can’t imagine Isuzu standing up in front of a crowd and saying, “It’s fine now. Interesting that you brought up his feelings of helplessness. It’s a ritual of self-awareness and season 4 made it the opening imagery of every single episode. You see all that in the way he stares at his hands, feebly flexing his fingers. But Isuzu also feels helpless and lost a lot, he had to readjust his power as his arms were never going to be able to match All-Might’s, and he’s already damaged the muscles too much. Isuzu is a physical hero, like All-Might and his incredible punch. It may seem like a random thing to pay attention to, but I think it’s symbolic.

Of course, it’s hardly the first show to employ this imagery, but it is one of the more popular, and it has used it extremely consistently.Įven in this first episode it comes up later on as Midoriya and the journalist are talking about the future of professional heroes. It has done so since the beginning, and I’m starting to see the trend seep over into other shows. I mentioned it before, but MHA really uses close ups of hands as visual metaphors more than eyes. The OP starts off on Deku’s hand, for instance. What we got, through, was something very different, and I think I liked it.įrom the first few minutes there were some really nice visual narrative elements. Good question, because I’d been wondering about the same thing! I had a vague expectation that we might start off with the villains as they plotted something, and as they were about to kick off their plan, switch back to the school. Crow, what did you think the premier would be like? I haven’t been reading the manga past the anime or anything. I can’t get up that early on a weekend! But it’s nice to know it’ll be there waiting for me when I do manage to haul my sorry self out of bed.įor all my anticipation, I didn’t really know what to expect from this episode. and I fully intend to get up and watch it in my jammies with a bowl of cereal. This is serious stuff! Season 4 of My Hero Academia is finally here and I’m not sure about where you are, but for me it airs on Saturday mornings! How perfect is that? It actually goes up at 7h15 a.m. And after season 3’s multiple of amazing character moments (remember Tsuyu Asui in tears when she thought Izuku Midoriya and the others who went on the rescue mission for Katsuki Bakugou?), my hopes are high for season 4! I was worried you’d be too busy! So I’m very happy to be collaborating with you on MHA season 4. You said “chap!” I remember thinking, “Wow! What a cultured response! I am most impressed!” Seriously, the honor’s all mine. Ok so my brain was just going Omergred SCORE!!This iz gonna be awsomecakes! But I must have typed that first thing… I think I said something along the lines of – Why sure my good chap, as always it will be an immeasurable pleasure to work with you and an honour to get the ball rolling. This time I thought for sure it would be it and then he goes, we could watch MHA? Wanna start it? I always get a little nervous at season’s end that he’ll tell me he’s too busy to renew our collabship so I sort of avoid the question as long as possible. I haven’t been this excited about a new anime season in a while and I can’t quite explain it.Īnd you know what else I really enjoy? My weekly episode reviews with Crow. I have been looking forward to this season of My Hero Academia since…well the last episode of season 3, and I was actually a little guiddy.
